I have the same errors after converting.
In the meantime I have found this ->

There are two specific low level drivers (...) These drivers (also
present in Windows) allow: (...)
- add the possibility to convert stream's format (ie ADPCM =>  PCM)
(this is useful if the format required by the application for playback
isn't supported by the soundcard)."

First I thought that wine does not support software ADPCM decoding and
my old Sound Blaster 16 surely has no hardware ADPCM support.
I am not very good in this field and finally I'm not sure if I
understand it well. If I were sure I would replace the sound card with
a newer one. Can you help (with understanding the above article) ?
